ITR filing mistake

I am salaried person and I filed ITR  based on form 16. HRA details is based on form 16. HRA details is based on rent receipt I submitted to company. While filing tax by mistaken I selected Type of house property as self occupied and filed return. I realized this mistake when I downloaded form. Do I need to revise return and update type of house property as nil or empty and resubmit return?

Quick Summary
A salaried individual mistakenly filed their Income Tax Return (ITR) selecting 'self-occupied' for house property when they own no property. This error might affect their HRA exemption. The advice is to revise the return, ensuring the house property section is left blank or filled with zero, and that salary income and deductions align with Form 16. Revising the return is recommended to ensure accuracy before the tax authorities issue an intimation.

If you do not own any house property, you need not fill Schedule HP at all. I.e. in ITR 1, you should leave the column blank.

I don't have my own house. I made mistake and filed return already. Should I revise it for this change? Please let me know.

Advisable to revise return with correct data.

You cannot leave any space . you have to put zero.

HRA exemption you fill as per form 16  and , your salary income and diductionand exemption should tally form 16,  income from house property you leave it , if you selected self , you might not get HRA exemption, I am not sure only after 143(1) intimation you will come to know. If you have doubt revised ITR1 dont fill any thing at house property keep on select and zero value.
